To be enrolled in this course, you need to be able to provide evidence of the completion of either Certificate II or Certificate III in Animals Studies.

Students must also provide evidence of confirmation of work placement prior to enrolment. An example of work placement evidence is a signed letter from a veterinary practice. Students who are unable to provide evidence of work placement will not be allowed to enrol into the course. Students whose work placements are made unavailable during the course must find other suitable work placement to meet the TGA qualification and unit requirements.

Students must provide evidence that they are employed, or have secured work placement, in a veterinary practice/veterinary clinic/veterinary hospital, of a minimum of 480 hours for the duration of the course.

As part of the minimum of 480 workplace hours, 240 hours must be spent on activities and tasks as detailed in the performance criteria and assessment requirements of the units of competency, to the required AQF level of the qualification.

Students may require more work placement hours or work experience, in addition to the minimum of 480 hours, to achieve the expected competency for the qualification.

There are TAFE NSW entry requirements to ensure that students are best equipped to successfully complete the course:

• Students have completed at least Year 10 or higher or equivalent.

• It is recommended that students have the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) learning, reading, writing, literacy, and numeracy competencies as stated in Section 2.2 Language, Literacy and Numeracy.

• Students have the same physical capacity for veterinary nursing/ animal care and management work as when they were undertaking the prerequisite qualification or the demonstration of equivalent skills.
